Birchlands

Birchlands is a residential care home in a substantial detached property that

has been purpose built to provide accommodation for fifty one service users.

The home is owned by the Anchor Trust Group and is located in Englefield

Green, near Egham.

A selection of facilities and services including shops, church, public transport

and G.P. surgeries are available locally. The home is a two storey building

served by a passenger lift to both floors. A wheelchair lift provides access from

the first floor to one of the seven residential units which the home is divided

into.

Each unit accommodates between 6 and 8 service users and has it's own

communal lounge and dining room with a kitchenette. Units on the ground

floor have access to the garden via french doors from the lounge. All

bedrooms are for single occupancy and have wash basins. Toilets and

bathrooms, most with easy access baths or with a hoist facility, are provided

on each of the units.

The home has recently undergone a major renovation and refurbishment to

improve facilities for residents and staff, and particularly for those residents

with dementia.

There is a large communal lounge, equipped with a television, music centre,

piano and selection of books. This room is used for activities and has access to

an enclosed garden area. A further area with comfortable seating and a music

centre is situated centrally on the first floor.

The fees at Birchlands range from £438.73 to £697.00 per week.
